Festive fun at the Cornwall Christmas Party. 14 December 2018

On Saturday 8th December we held our Cornwall Surf Club Christmas party! Thanks to Rick Stein’s Fish and Chips on Fistral Beach our surf club families and volunteers were able to enjoy a morning together getting in the yule tide spirit. The restaurant generously provided hot and cold beverages and some delicious cakes as well as the space for all our games and activities. We had 21 young people come along and lots of our fantastic volunteers. There were games such as ‘Pin the nose on the elf’ and ‘reindeer hoopla’, as well as a chance to get creative with the ‘Santa Selfie’ corner and the ‘make your own Christmas baubles’ station.’ It was a special morning and it was especially lovely to see Wave Project people from all three areas in Cornwall gather together for festive fun. Not only did we have a jolly good time but together we also managed to raise £121.99 in donations. Well done to the Wave Project family, thank you all for coming and Merry Christmas to you all!

The programme is a real motivator for our students. They look forward to attending and are buzzing with excitement when they return.”

After completing Beach School I joined The Wave Project Surf Club!

The student’s were openly sharing knowledge and understanding with peers when the lesson covered aspects of the curriculum covered during Beach School, such as erosion and geography.

“Beach School has had a positive and lasting impact on the majority of the pupils who participated. Improving pupil outcomes reducing antisocial learning behaviours, raising pupil engagement and aspiration.”

“My son loves the Wave Project and all the guys are absolutely fantastic. He is able to be himself and is accepted for who he is. He could not wait to go surfing every week and showed an excitement. Instead of trying to fit in and be someone he is not. They have fun and the atmosphere and positivity is amazing. The happiest days are with the Wave Project. So thank you, you really do change children’s lives.”

Parent, Cornwall

“The Wave Project has totally inspired my son. It has the right balance of challenge, excitement, relaxation, being part of a group. It also helps with his confidence, mood and sensory difficulties. It ticks all the boxes really. Plus we parents get a bit of a rest, can chat to other parents and have a cup of tea on the beach! He always says being in the sea is where he feels happiest and where his worries all go away…”

Surfing has given my son confidence and self esteem that, as a teenager living with high functioning autism, he never had before. This amazing work should not be underestimated.
